I am afraid it's not really worth fixing at the moment, because kernel,
glibc, qemu, everything might change by the time 7.1.x gets into
-current, so rather than patching the existing version it might be worth
updating the glibc instead.

I think Ponce might be interested in knowing this, though, he has his
own branch dedicated to -current (see
https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/slackware-14/sbo-scripts-not-building-on-current-read-1st-post-pls-4175561999/page507.html)
But I suspect he will also say "when 7.1.x (or even something newer)
gets into -current."
